| A Crack of the Bat. A Blow to the Head. Who Pays the Bill? |
|
The century-old legal doctrine blocks fans from suing a ball club if they get hurt by a foul ball or a shattered bat. The reason: Fans accept the risk of injury at a ballgame because they know batters will occasionally rocket balls into the grandstands. A New York appeals court on Wednesday considered a lawsuit that is testing whether the Baseball Rule -- like the Twins=E2=80=99 2017 season -- is now obsolete. The plaintiff, a lawyer for a private equity fund who was badly injured by a Yankee Stadium foul ball in 2011, says the doctrine should no longer apply because of distractions such as scoreboards showing replays and the extra risk in seats that are closer-than-ever to the playing field. He wants the court to scale back the rule and reinstate his negligence lawsuit.
